I know i've had that happen before. Also chords will sound kinda nasty.

i dont know man, bridge looks not stable for fine tune on intonation...
i know its probably the worst thing for jam...

i have two choices,
*go with junk, how can it effect u that bad, come on, at least u can keep finger practice, till u get a new one...
*stay away from that junk, save your ear from the crappy noise n wait, till u get a new one...

ps: hail hendrix!!! ;)
